And yes, it can be deceptively cold though sunny in the mornings here right now.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-49642490015007248012016-04-01T06:00:59.041-07:002016-04-01T06:00:59.041-07:00Haha - "*TRY* to take pictures of flowers&quo...Haha - "*TRY* to take pictures of flowers". I can understand how that might be taken in a condescending tone. It's interesting how one word can change the meaning of a sentence....maybe the misuse of a word having an unintended impact. I love the language and I'm always interested in how different people and Bow use it, but I have work to do in my own personal use of it too, often catching myself saying something that I didn't quite mean in the way it was taken.<br />One more note - the first video of Bow going out, then realizing it was cold and coming back in - I've done that too on a few of these sunny mornings.

Does candy really go stale if you save it for a year? Anyway, I am trying to cut down on the candy habit for my family. None of us are little kids, anymore, not even Bow. And straight sugar is not that good for us.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-5536796293807806122016-03-30T14:23:04.378-07:002016-03-30T14:23:04.378-07:00The best time to purchase Easter treats is two day...The best time to purchase Easter treats is two days after Easter. I got my sister some chocolate candy at Target yesterday, and it is 30% off right now. People always think the cheapskates are weird to celebrate holidays after holidays, but you can save some money. Of course you could not save candy for a year, but this would be a good time to buy decorations and save these until next year.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.com
